TIE PROHTBITION DECISION.

The decision of the United States
supreme Court In the Kansas Pro-
hibrtion cases Is OF great import
ancc. 1t has long been question iii contro-
vcrsy whether. ia States that had adopted pro
hibtion, compensation was not due to the
owners Of property, such As brcwcrcs and dis
tillcrics. which could not readily be used for
ether purposes and consequently had suffered
great depreciation in value. The court holds
that such prohibition is within the police
power Of the State. and so Is not rcpugnant
to the Constitution. which forbids the taking
Of property for pubic use without componsa-
ton and without due process Of law. The
property is not taken. The State has simply
declared that the making Of liquor for other
than medical. scientific and manufacturing
purposes is injurious 10 the welfare Of the
people and must be prohibited. The right Of
the people, speaking through their legislative
representatives. TO forbid the use Of property
IN such "A way as to affect the community.
as they believe, injurously. is explicitly up
hcId by the court.
Another point raised In the courts by the
opponents Of the prohibtory laws was Of less
popular interest. This WIS that the State.
whatever right il might have to prohibit liquor
traffic in general, within its borders could not
forbid citizen to manufacture liquors for his
own use or for export, without infringing upon
his rights as citizen. The answer to this
is involved in the reasoning already given.
"Thc right to manufacture drink for ones
own use" saws Justice Harlan I" is subject TO
the restriction that it shall not cndangcr or
affect the rights Of others. II such manu-
facturc does prcjudicially affect the rights and
interests Of the community, it follows that
society has the power to protect itself by lcgis-
iation against the injurious consequences OF
that business" There must be power some
where ~ decide whether il has that elect. and
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1887-12-07

this clidently resides in the legislative branch
of the Government.
Broadly stated, then, the court fully upholds
prohibition as within the police power OF the
State. 1t is an important point to have settled,
and no doubt the vast majority of citizens
will accept the decision "a Just one, entirely
without reference to their opinions or tho
wisdom of prohibition. The decision is fresh
yindication Of the right of self-governmont,
and as such its soundncss is not to be ques-
toned. No doubt it will be accepted as
great encouragement by the Prohbitionists,
who are sadly in need of it Just now. Yet 1t
cannot have much practical bearing
on the issue at large. 1t can hardly be said to
affect this in any way, except that it may in
tcnsify the opposition to prohibition in States
where it is proposed to adopt it, or add to
the vigor with which it is attacked in States
where it is nominally in force. The Supreme
Court has upheld the legal right Of the State
to prohibit the liquor traffic but the question
Of the wisdom Of such efforts stands. Of course,
lust where it stood before.

rapidly as possible without seriously obstruct-
ing the public business. TO get rid OF faithful
Republican subordinatcs is an object that nc
keeps constantly in view, but often it is no
easy matter for him to obtain pretcxts for
discharging them. A case in point is that OF
deputy Collector Jones. who was removed on
Monday. The ostensible reason therefor IS OF
the fimsicst descriptions the real cause can
easily be seen. Colonel Jones was
gallant soldier and had been in tho Customs
service nearly ten years. His case is not an
isolated one. The inference is far that Mr.
Macone would make clean sweep of Repub-
licans were it not for fear Of absolutely block
ing the Custom House machinery.
